Earthquakes of significant magnitude that actually "destroy" anything are VERY far and few between.

In fact, 99% of Californians will NEVER be involved in a destructive earthquake ...even if they lived to 100 years old.

Yes, we get literally 10K+ earthquakes per year, however, 99.9% you don't feel them, and the biggest earthquake you'd feel here would do nothing more than put a small crack in the plaster of one of your living room walls.

California is paradise on earth....the most beautiful place in the world and desired by all.

Of course I have. Also Loma Prieta...but those were once in a lifetime devestating quakes which less than 1% of the population of Cali were effected by.
